The amount of any lump sum payment hereunder shall be determined by using the same factors and assumptions which would be used by the Retirement Plan for such Participant or Beneficiary at the Participant’s Separation from Service. The balance of any Excess Retirement Benefit not paid at the Participant’s Separation from Service shall accrue interest beginning at the Participant’s Separation from Service at a rate used under the Retirement Plan to determine the actuarial equivalent lump sum of a life only monthly annuity.

(e) A Participant must be fully vested under the Thrift Plan in order for an Excess Thrift Benefit to be payable. The balance of any Excess Thrift Benefit not paid at the Participant’s Separation from Service shall accrue interest at the “Cash with Interest” rate provided under Article VIII of the Thrift Plan until the entire balance has been paid. If the “Cash with Interest” rate becomes unavailable for any reason, whether for purposes of this Section 3.3(e) or for purposes of Section 3.2, the Company shall, at its sole discretion, substitute a similar interest rate which will be applicable for time periods thereafter.

A Participant shall be entitled to a
cash distribution of the Participant’s Excess Retirement Benefit and Excess Thrift Benefit, as applicable (collectively, the “Excess Benefit”), as provided in this Section 3.3.

STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%">(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.3, a Participant’s Excess Benefit shall be paid in a lump sum within 90 days of Separation
from Service for any reason other than death.

(b) In the event of the death of a Participant, the Participant’s Excess Benefit shall
be paid to the Participant’s applicable Beneficiary in a lump sum within 90 days of the Participant’s death or, if earlier, within the 90-day period following the Participant’s Separation from Service as described in
Section 3.3(a) (or, in the event of a Separation from Service of a Specified









Employee (as defined below) not on account of death, the 90-day period described in Section 3.3(c)). The Participant’s “Beneficiary”
shall be: (i) with respect to the Participant’s Excess Retirement Benefit, the Beneficiary will be his or her Eligible Surviving Spouse or estate (if no Eligible Surviving Spouse); and (ii) with respect to the Participant’s
Excess Thrift Benefit, the Participant’s Beneficiary will be the beneficiary or beneficiaries designated under the Thrift Plan. In any event, if there is no valid Beneficiary under the terms of this Excess Benefit Plan, the Excess Benefit will
be paid to the person or persons comprising the first surviving class of the eligible classes as set forth: (1) the Participant’s spouse; (2) the Participant’s natural born and legally adopted children; (3) the
Participant’s surviving parents; (4) the Participant’s surviving brothers and sisters; and (5) the executor or administrator of the Participant’s estate.

STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%">(c) Distribution of the Excess Benefit of a Participant who the Plan Administrator determines is a Specified Employee (other than such Participant’s
Grandfathered Accruals) shall be paid in a lump sum within the 90-day period following the first of the month following 6 months after Separation from Service (other than a Separation from Service on account of the death of Participant). In the
event of a Separation from Service of a Specified Employee on account of death, payment shall be made pursuant to Section 3.3(b). Payment of a Specified Employee’s Grandfathered Accruals shall be made in accordance with
Section 3.3(a).

(d) A Participant must be vested under the Retirement Plan in order for an Excess Retirement Benefit to be payable.
The amount of any lump sum payment hereunder shall be determined by using the same factors and assumptions which would be used by the Retirement Plan for such Participant or Beneficiary at the Participant’s Separation from Service. The balance
of any Excess Retirement Benefit not paid at the Participant’s Separation from Service shall accrue interest beginning at the Participant’s Separation from Service at a rate used under the Retirement Plan to determine the actuarial
equivalent lump sum of a life only monthly annuity.

(e) A Participant must be fully vested under the Thrift Plan in order for an Excess
Thrift Benefit to be payable. The balance of any Excess Thrift Benefit not paid at the Participant’s Separation from Service shall accrue interest at the “Cash with Interest” rate provided under Article VIII of the Thrift Plan until
the entire balance has been paid. If the “Cash with Interest” rate becomes unavailable for any reason, whether for purposes of this Section 3.3(e) or for purposes of Section 3.2, the Company shall, at its sole discretion,
substitute a similar interest rate which will be applicable for time periods thereafter.

(f) Distributions of 409A Accruals prior to
January 1, 2009 were made under reasonable good faith interpretations of Code section 409A and transition guidance provided thereunder. Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of this Section 3.3, to the extent the Plan Administrator
permitted a Participant to submit an election to receive payment in a form of distribution other than a lump sum and such payment commenced prior to 2009, the distribution of such Participant’s Excess Benefit after 2008 shall be governed by
procedures established by the Plan Administrator.
